Please join us to network with researchers who have commonality of interest in current nanomechanical testing in material science.
Come and learn how Hysitron, Inc. can be a value-added partner with Wisconsin's comprehensive campuses to enhance nanotechnology research partnerships for federal funding opportunities and to establish potential internship opportunities for students.
Nanotechnology and nanomechanical testing of materials is a very dynamic area of science involving research at numerous private and public laboratories that support future technological innovations. Hysitron is very interested in stimulating interest and discussions centered on nanotechnology. We will present Hysitron's technologies, and how they have evolved to meet the demands of a continuously changing and expanding market relative to academia, industry and technology developers and providers.
About the speaker:
In 1996, Mr. Lance Kuhn joined Hysitron, Inc. as an application engineer after earning his degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. For more than 12 years, he has developed an extensive understanding of instrumentation and applications, combined with input from customers, to help bring new innovative technologies and capabilities to Hysitron and to material researchers worldwide. As Hysitron's nanomechanical testing market grew to encompass six continents, Lance's knowledge, experience and relationships has been instrumental toward Hysitron's growth and preeminence in material sciences worldwide. His understanding of material science protocols has exposed him to a wide variety of new material science research. Lance is one of the world's experts in bridging the gap between communicating and translating instrument idiosyncrasy from phenomena of materials and their behavior. Today, Lance shares this knowledge, through his business and scientific team at Hysitron, with researchers and faculty worldwide, helping in their goals to meet the challenging technical opportunities presented by material science at nanoscale.
